· To assist you answer the Stream quiz, the questions have been duplicated in this brief. You can fill in your answers in the space allocated as you progress through the brief.

Ensure that before you post your question, you have reviewed the previous posts – it may have already been addressed.

MEASUREMENTS
Where did this information come from?
Using the most current version of ANZSMM you will find the information in the following headings and columns. If there is no information in the Category or Sub-classification, you simply use n/a.
Using: SITE PLANS | HIGHBROOK Dr
Measure the overall area of the green field boarded by Highbrook Dr and Underwood Dr. The image is an indication of the space to be measured.
Remember, the more points you use, the more accurate your measurement – but be realistic!
When you prepare your Bill of Quantities, you are required to describe this item under Groundworks. It would be an item that would occur at the earliest stages in preparation for the remainder of the work.
What is the perimeter of the fuel station on the corner of Highbrook Dr?
In the Bill of Quantities, you are required to describe this item as a gutter.
Using SITE PLANS | Autodesk University
What is the total area of the existing building? Hint – it includes four zones, but not the red bits that stick out.
In the BoQ you are required to measure this as the plastic damp proof membrane.
Using LAWRY STREET
You need to import the following drawings L03, L04, L10, L11, L12, L15. You may also need some other pages for information purposes, but you do not need to import them into CostX.
Give each sheet an appropriate name, but NOT the layout number provided below.
Layout L03 & L04
Measure all 900 internal single swing doors. Set positive dimension to orange.
Layout L03 & L04
Measure floor finish (only) Type 14. Set positive dimension to slate. Measure under all fittings, baths, WC’s and other installations. Use the Finishes schedule provided (S02) for further information. You do not need to add this to CostX.

L10
How much roof sheeting do you require (on plan i.e. flat) on the section once the two Velux skylights have been removed? Do not measure ALL the roof sheeting, only the T- section with the skylights.
Measure from the extreme edge. (Yes, I know that includes the guttering).
L12
Measure the volume of the brickwork in the two entry columns.
L14
Measure the weatherboard to the external finish on L14. Measure over ground floor and first floor, but not over master bedroom and workshop. Do not forget to deduct all the windows.

BILL OF QUANTITIES
You are required to convert some of your measurements (those with Trade numbers) into a Bill of Quantities for your Client.
· You are required to use the Live Linking method to undertake this task.
· Your Bill of Quantities must have a cover page (Level 1) and a trade summary page (Level 2) before you get to the detail of each category and measurement (Level 3).
· Ensure that each trade has relevant preambles associated with it. See Stream for more information.
· Edit your descriptions (if necessary) to a BoQ standard.
